#WORTHTHEWATCH Minutes before his flight to go to Los Angeles for Oscars weekend I spoke with Arlo Washington, the man featured in the Oscar-nominated short documentary, “The Barber of Little Rock!"
The film follows Washington who is a Little Rock barber and his non-profit ‘PEOPLE Trust Loan Fund’ as it takes a unique look at the nation's widening racial wealth gap. Make sure to watch this full story only on @KARK4News & @FOX16News

With less than 1% of the real estate industry made up by Black and Latino developers, @_terryharris15's advice is clear: Take action. Partnerships with #CDFIs can pave the way for success. https://t.co/yF98plgJO8
